Here is the second release on the PKCS#11 branch. This release is the
first to actually support external signing operations. The included
PKCS#11 wrapper can be used to as the callback to offload signing to a
smartcard, see how gnutls-cli (src/cli.c) for examples on how to do
this. Note that the code needs to be cleaned up, and likely contains
bugs. I wanted to get this release out as fast as possible to reach
testers.
The NEWS entry is:
* Version 1.7.8.p11.1 (released 2007-05-08)
** Add new API to perform private key operations.
Use the new API gnutls_set_sign_function to set a callback function
that is responsible for performing the signing operation. The
callback must follow the gnutls_sign_func prototype:
typedef int (*gnutls_sign_func) (gnutls_session_t session,
gnutls_datum_t * cert,
const gnutls_datum_t * hash_concat,
gnutls_datum_t * signature);
** Add new APIs to get all user certificates from PKCS#11 provider.
The gnutls_pkcs11_get_user_certificates looks for private keys, and
returns certificates that have the same CKA_ID attribute.
** Add new API to perform signing via the PKCS#11 library.
The function can be used by a gnutls_sign_func callback to off-load
signing the operation to a PKCS#11 provider. Currently the limitation
is that it doesn't support multiple private keys on the smart card (it
doesn't check whether the certificate used for signing corresponds to
the private key used).
** Improved PKCS#11 support in gnutls-cli tool.
It will automatically try to load CA certificates (implemented in the
last release) and user certificates (new in this release), and
off-loads the signing operations to the PKCS#11 backend.
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_pkcs11_get_user_certificates: ADD.
gnutls_pkcs11_sign: ADD.
gnutls_sign_func: ADD.
gnutls_set_sign_function: ADD.
gnutls_get_sign_function: ADD.
Warning! This is even more experimental than the experimental 1.7.x
branch. However, the changes compared to 1.7.8 are intentionally kept
minimal, to facilitate easy merging later on.
The support is limited to:
1) Support for build-time linking to the PKCS#11 provider scute, see
http://www.scute.org/.
2) Retrieving trusted CA certificates from the PKCS#11 provider.
3) Retrieving user certificates from the PKCS#11 provider.
4) Provide a callback to perform signing operations.
5) Provide an API to perform PKCS#11 signing via the PKCS#11 provider.
To test it, you'll need to build scute 1.1.0, and set it up (try using
it in mozilla), which requires some reading, see the Scute manual. I
generated new keys on an OpenPGP smartcard with gpg2 --edit-card and
gpgsm-gencert.sh, then signed the CSR with certtool using the GnuTLS
test CA, and imported the certificates using 'gpgsm --import'.
If someone can explain to me how I can test other PKCS#11 providers, I
can test them too. Supporting the NSS soft token provider is an
important target.
The gnutls-cli tool in this release automatically import all CAs from
Scute, and will load the user certificates too, and invoke Scute for
signing. Here is an output from running it against the GnuTLS test
server:

Improving GnuTLS is costly, but you can help! We are looking for
organizations that find GnuTLS useful and wish to contribute back.
You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate
money or equipment.
Commercial support contracts for GnuTLS are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance. Simon Josefsson Datakonsult, a
Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding GnuTLS
maintenance. We are always looking for interesting development
projects. See http://josefsson.org/ for more details.
